For all Claire's product, there will be a few easy authentic verification by their packaging.

The 1st and foremost is this one, the Clair's authentic sticker.

You may download the Claire's App in Apps Store and Google play to verified the authentic product.

Next is the cloud 9 label sticker before open the box.

Bottom Packaging.

As I've snap the pictures on June 2015 and tested for a month before doing this reviewing.

There's another latest update version of Cloud 9 Blanc De Whitening Cream in packaging

(Effective on August 2015)

New Packaging: Added 9-Complex wording on top of the packaging // Claire's authentic sticker are moved to the bottom of the packaging

Besides of the two new added design in the new packaging, the rest are remain the same as the old design.

First impression of the texture of the cream is, I thought is already expired or spoiled.

Why? Because the texture surface is not like the normal smooth cream texture.

Is more like a creamy melted whipping cream texture or smashing pudding texture.

Close up! The interesting part is, it is wet formula when you scoop it out and blend it.

The texture BEFORE & AFTER blending to my skin.

It appears to have light and fluffy moisture feel before blending but it will become matte after that.

But don't worry for the matte feelings because it will NOT become dry / cakey feeling!

If you're a dry skin people, I would suggest to mix together with your sunscreen / night cream.

As there are a lot of fake product for Cloud 9 Blanc De Whitening Cream,

I also did a comparison between the fake and authentic one!

There are some places that the fake and authentic are the same, so you guys need to beware of that.

OUTER PACKAGING : SAME

LABEL STICKER : Fake wording appears to be bolder than the authentic one.

AUTHENTIC STICKER : Fake one DO NOT have Clarie's authentic sticker.

BOTTOM PACKAGING : Fake product wording are much more darker and bolder than the authentic one.

PRODUCT BOTTLE : Fake product wording are much more darker and bolder than the authentic one.

AUTHENTIC STICKER:

Fake product's sticker are more yellowish and the authentic one are more to gold and rose gold colour, as it will change colour under different lighting capture, which is pretty cool!

SPATULA : Fake spatula plastic have some tiny sharp edge that not comfortable to hold on compare to the authentic one.

TEXTURE / SMELL / COLOR:FAKE : [TEXTURE] First impression when saw the texture is like our normal smooth cream texture,
but when you scoop and blend it in your hand, you will feel the texture is kinda thick and oily. Which is not easy to blend well in skin.FAKE : [SMELL] Is like a combination of plastic that cause weird smell, whereas the authentic one have very fresh and good flower extract smell.FAKE : [COLOR] Is abit yellowish compare to the authentic one.

Close up!

I've scoop a lil amount on my hand to try on the fake product, as you can see that it appears to be

slightly yellowish compare to the authentic Cloud 9 before blending.

The texture of the authentic Cloud 9 are very moisture and watery after blending,
but the FAKE cloud 9 are hard to blend well and absorb into skin, the texture is weird after dry off.
